Lots of Teaching, loving his area... oh, and seven stitches!

Well this week was pretty dang awesome we had a ton of success this week which was rad E. Angulo and I are workin really hard and working with all the members to get a ton of references, the thing that is really rad here is cause the zls have been here for so long like 8 years! and the ward loves us, they are so ready to work and they are working with us which is way awesome cause sometimes there are not the best missionaries and they lose the confidence in the Elders but not here. anyways...

Tuesday we had another lesson with the Fam. Maldonado, we are getting her ready to get baptized next week and helping their fam to get more active in the church.  They are way rad and love talking to us, in the night we had a lesson with a family called Chocavilka jaja, so they have a daughter who has been looking at the church for almost a year, but is not baptized but wants to be! So we talked to her mom and she's way rad, and gave permission, and asked if we can come back Thursday to talk to her whole family... YES!  so we set a come back on Thursday where we taught Lesson 2 (plan de salvación) with the whole fam!  It was awesome and they loved it, they told us to come back on Saturday again and that time we taught lesson 1 (La Resturacion) with the whole fam again! Super awesome they loved it and wanted to come to church with us, and they CAME! and now church is two hours, the ward is amazing, you can't ask for anything else jaja! when the meetings ended the dad asked two questions:

1. How long do you need to be here until you get baptized?

2. How is everyone so nice here? 

They are awesome!! we gave them all copies of the Book of Mormon and set another come back cita for Wednesday! This is the familia Chocavilka. 

Ok So that just about the whole week, on Wednesday we had to to a split with some Elders in our zone cause they are not having the "best" relationship. so we went with them and tried to help them out to get along and have a good spirit to work with them, in the. Area... It was a hard day. with them. but I got to hold a bunny, that was fun. 

We have a really cool reference named Dilan he has 19 years and loves hearing about churches and is looking for the true one, so we gave him L1 and asked him if he had any questions.. He gave us the whole lesson one again but in his words. from Prophets, the church of Christ, the whole story of Joseph Smith, and how we have the Book of Mormon. like perfect I'm not kidding it was awesome the dude has a spirit with him and wants to learn, 

Flia. Mendoza A WAY AWESOME FAM  so we are teaching the mom and dad, but their three kids are members! They want to be baptized!   We set the goal of the ninth of February and they are way excited we taught them Lesson 1 and 2 this week and are getting really excited, and their kids are helping them out a ton! 

Like a ton of success RN, its a good time here jaja, well I got nothing else OH yeah. 

I was playing basketball today when I went for a still on a E. Clark and as he spun we hit heads together and it cut my eyebrow open.. jaja started gushing blood and ended up going to the clinic to get seven stitches in my eyebrow.. kinda blows but I'm good I think I'm gonna have a mad gnarly scar but I guess it will help me remember the mission jaja. Yeah that's about it love y'all! and all is well acá!

Here's several pictures that I took from his Google drive... I love these so much!

Then on Wednesday one of the members randomly sent this picture to Stetson's Facebook messenger to say, Caleb is eating chicken and wanted to say "hi" and also I think to show us that his eye was healing quite nicely.  You can hardly even tell that he has stitches.  Prayers are very much heard and answered.
